Chapter 245 – [The Last Days of China]
The current situation in Japan was dire, but on the contrary, the media did not resurrect any problems and remained quiet as usual.
The only peculiarity is that the number of people going abroad has increased rapidly, but even that has not been reported by the media.
Due to the explosion in Fukushima, Japan is now becoming a radioactive country. As time passed, the harm was gradually revealed, and more and more people were slowly dying or having abnormalities.
But in the end, even that was unknown. Even the increasing radioactivity level was dismissed as an error by publicizing corruption in the supply of radioactivity level measuring devices in the media.
But even that doesn’t last long. Eventually, the whole nation will know about it, and now it is just a boiling, dormant volcano on the verge of exploding.
Controlling the media and shutting people’s mouths will eventually be revealed someday. There are no eternal secrets in the world.
“Yes, Senator”
[How is it going?]
“There are no noticeable results yet. Besides, now Raccoon Man is…”
[So, are you planning on leaving it like that? I have to do something!]
Minori Yakitori, Vice Minister of the Japanese Embassy in Korea, frowned at the screams that came over the receiver. He was at a level that should be considered fortunate that it was not a video call.
People who are pretty are said to be pretty even when they frown, but how they feel is another matter. There are few things that make you feel worse than hearing a loud voice from an incompetent person who only whips you from above for doing nothing.
“If you act rashly, you’ll most likely do something wrong. So take your time…”
[Did you not know what was going on in Japan during that time!!!]
“………..”
Rep. Kono, who is screaming, pretends to be concerned about Japan with his mouth, but controls the media and is one of those who went abroad. Currently, he is on vacation in the name of diplomacy in a country somewhere in Southeast Asia.
At the same time, she was sent to Korea, where the effects of radiation may come to her, and entrusted her work. If she really cared about Japan, it would be Congressman Kono, not her, who is here.
[If I can’t coax a kid like that…… If I can’t get it right, I’ll have to use my body!!! What do you think is the reason I hired you as Vice Minister!!]
“………”
Beyond verbal abuse, it was close to sexual harassment, no, verbal sexual violence.
However, Vice Minister Yakitori seemed to be used to it and passed it over calmly. In the first place, Congressman Kono is such a person.
“According to our research, we know that Mr. Baek-ri is not interested in that kind of thing. And he has other people he likes, so I don’t know what kind of reaction he will get if I try to touch him…”
[It’s natural for a man to be interested in one or two women! Isn’t it an excuse that everyone doesn’t want to use their bodies?]
“That’s not it”
[Then, quickly, regardless of the means and methods, we must produce results!!]
At the ensuing nagging, Vice Minister Yakitori blocked the receiver and sighed for a moment.
The screaming continued. If you have so many complaints, you can do it yourself, but you are inexhaustible in a subject that you do not have the ability to do.
Even her position as Vice Minister was chosen not for her abilities, but for her looks, so she couldn’t argue against such a situation.
Soon after, Congressman Kono, who was not sure if he had a sore throat after shouting or if his stress was relieved, lowered his voice.
[There are only a few days left until the hearing. If we don’t take care of things before that, we won’t be able to receive decontamination technology anymore from those who left for Mars. So, do you know what that means?]
“Of course”
Currently, it is highly likely that Japan will not be able to live without decontamination technology.
Who would think of living in a land where lifespans would be reduced by decades, even if they did not die right away? No matter how many refugees had no place to go, it was clear that Japan at that point would be reluctant.
No, you don’t have to worry about that in the first place. Because before that, they will all die and be defeated by the angry people.
They saw the situation in China. I realized how weak human society is in front of a transcendental being who can kill an entire nation.
Today’s China was in a situation where new shoots were sprouting on a rotten tree, but the current Japan, the party to that rotten tree, had no intention of serving as food for future generations. They just want to continue to hold on to power and remain in their current positions.
[If the previous method is difficult, use a more reliable method]
“If you say it’s a sure way…”
[Are you asking because you don’t know? If persuasion and negotiation don’t work, I’ll have to threaten]
“…….!!”
Vice Minister Yakitori got goosebumps. No, even if you are ignorant…!!!
The opponent is the existence of a transcendental person who destroys a country, and the force user who blocked such a transcendental person. Threatening while evaluating that she will be much stronger than Empress Kwonryong, whose whereabouts are currently unknown? Threat?
For a moment she doubted her ears, but reality did not change. She said she didn’t know that a puppy was scary, but she was just like him.
[Raccoon Man’s family doesn’t exist, so he’s a friend…… No, then the effect might be weak. Then it would be better to aim for the second family. Did she say she had a sister?]
“…Miss Ruri, there is a precedent in which the Chinese government tried to contact her and was severely beaten.”
[That’s because they were pigs. If you prepare well, there will be no problems, right?]
Planning the kidnapping was the problem in the first place. However, if the other person had the ability to recognize that, it was natural that he would have thought of a better way.
Representative Kono, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was a person who could act as a representative of a country. As long as those thoughts came from such a person’s head, there was no need to wait.
In fact, it was foolish to expect that someone who inherited the ability by blood rather than the people’s choice had the ability.
“……I don’t know what effect it will have.”
[Isn’t it because it failed in the end? If you prepare enough and try it, you’ll be fine. Isn’t it?]
“………..”
It was called Jinsa Daecheonmyeong (盡人事待天命). In the end, no matter how hard you try, what comes next is up to heaven.
Even if they prepare everything they can, what remains in the end is a matter that humans cannot decide.
So even if you prepare perfectly, 99.9% is the limit. The remaining 0.1 percent of the problem cannot be solved.
That’s natural. Because it is an absolute law created by the Absolute of Torsion.
“……Okay. Then what should I do?”
[Send someone else. Follow his instructions
It was, in effect, a call to step back.
However, Vice Minister Yakitori was rather relieved by that story. Even if things go wrong, asking for responsibility will be pushed to second place.
She left the recording function on her cellphone turned on just in case. He is his superior, but there is a difference between having means of defense and not having it.
“Okay. Then, can we move according to the sender’s opinion?”
[If there is a problem…]
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to cut off the tail.”
[Okay, this is why I like you. Anyway, get it resolved quickly. There won’t be any big deal just by kidnapping one Josenjing woman.]
Clear evidence, clear statements there. Vice Minister Yakitori laughed and hung up the phone.
“Then I’ll hang up. Senator”
After she hung up on her phone, she started looking into something else.
How to immigrate abroad.
* * *
Daily life at Baekri’s house was extremely ordinary. Even after Baek-ri came out, it was the family that did not change in the end.
“Squid rice bowl!!!”
Except for Ruri.
8 in the morning. It’s still time to go to school, but it’s also a time to sleep in for the first time in a while for Ruri, who has just finished the college entrance exam and celebrated the weekend.
Of course, for Ruri, who woke up around 6 o’clock, 8 o’clock was enough oversleeping. There are people in the world who wake up around the time everyone else is having lunch.
A lot of it is the result of jet lag, though. Anyway.
“Mom! This morning is squid rice bowl?!”
“I made a squid rice bowl today because I said that. I’ll stir-fry it roughly, so mix it up and eat it.”
“Huhhhhh!!!!”
“Is it too spicy in the morning?”
“You don’t know because you’ve never had squid bowl for breakfast. It’s squid bowl for breakfast.”
“I’d rather eat pork rice bowls”
“Oh, they don’t accept meat in the morning.”
“Can you take the spicy one?!?!”
Baek-ri tackled him, but Lu-ri ignored it. He is such a child in the first place.
Anyway, after eating breakfast and washing up, Ruri dressed up. It took her about an hour, but a woman’s preparation takes a long time.
Baek-ri looked at Ruri with her pitiful eyes and said everything.
“Where are you going?”
“No, I don’t have any plans.”
“But you’ve been making that fuss since morning?!”
“What’s wrong with that!!!”
“Oh, this bitch is really my little sister…!!!”
Baek-ri played her temper by saying lines like the older brother of all the siblings in the country, but she had no idea what to do.
In the end, it was only natural that she had no choice but to leave it alone. As Ruri relaxed like a high school girl who was good at her CSAT, she was just thinking about what to do today.
The difference between weekend and weekday was just the difference between going to school and not going to school. Even so, there is no need to go after the number of attendance days has been filled.
“Ah, life is no fun. What content do you have?”
“You’re talking like a dead person in a game…! Even part-timers go!!!”
“Do you think I’ll be able to get a part-time job while my brother’s personal information is stolen on the Internet and my personal information is also stolen?”
“I’m sorry for being an ugly brother!!!”
“Give me some pocket money. I know you have plenty of oppa’s bank account!!!”
“Keugh…!!”
After Baek-ri came out, Ruri also got into a lot of gossip. She is a force user, so it was only natural that a high school girl who was pretty and had top grades even took the CSAT, but people talked about it.
In the meantime, it is only natural that she would be bothered if she had a part-time job. After calculating money and hassle, the latter won.
“But, well, I can go out with my friends. I’m different from anyone who doesn’t have a job.”
“Are you arguing with me now?”
“First of all, brother, get a job and come”
“Because I’m going to get a job at the UN right away?! Don’t go and ask for pocket money then?!”
“By that time, I’ll have to do a part-time job. Anyway, I’m bored, so should I go out and play…”
While thinking about it, Ruri took out her cell phone and sent her KakaoTalk message. After sending it to a class chat room created by her classmates, some of the kids responded shortly after.
[Ruri: I’m bored. Who wants to play with me?]
[Lim Yoon-jung: What are you saying, bitch? Introduce me to your brother]
[Ruri: A girl who looks like she’s been wearing a towel for over 10 years covets who’s older brother? Fuck the sucking sound of Piccolo’s antennae]
[Kim Ji-yeon: Look at this year’s reaction, who’s not Braconhaha]
[Ruri: Ah! I want to have sex!!!!]
[Lim Yoon-jung: Fucking bitch, don’t fuck with Kakao Talk like that!!!!]
[Ruri: Anyway, someone to play with when bored?]
[Lee Se-young: I have nothing to do right now. Do you want to play together? I think it would be okay to drink a cup of coffee and go to a karaoke bar]
[Ruri: ㅇㅋㅋ]
Eventually, her appointment was held, and Ruri locked herself in preparations to go out. Seeing Ruri like that, Baekri happily opened her wallet.
“You want to go out? Take your pocket money”
“Oh, just take the card.”
“…You will receive what this bitch gives you. You know that if you cross the line and become greedy, you won’t get anything, right?”
“Orabang, I’ll be grateful. Kelvin'”
“………..”
Baek-ri was a little reluctant, but after she gave him a few thousand won, Ruri smiled broadly.
Even so, she couldn’t win against her younger sister. Of course, siblings with a small age difference, such as Baekri and Ruri, are bound to fight, but the situation is different because Baekri usually yields.
“I’ll go out and come back…… Oh!!! I got a call from Yejin!!!”
“Yejin?!”
“Who is Yejin?”
“There is a high school girl who flirts with my brother. He is a year younger than me.”
“……Um, Baekri. Please sit here for a while.”
“Gaaaaa?!”
After throwing a bomb at Baek-ri and her mother, Ruri answered her call casually.
[Hello? Sister Ruri?]
“You can call me sister-in-law!”
[That’s still it]
“Oh, it’s still there.”
The word “Yet” Means that one day it will be. Well, I’m glad that the direction of Some is flowing well.
“What’s going on? I was just about to go out.”
[Where are you going?]
“I’m going to go to karaoke after I’m craving a cup of coffee and doing some shopping”
[Then I will go with you. I have something to tell you]
“Do you have money? I heard that Aunt Zion disposed of her property, but isn’t she an empty furry?”
[Even if a rich man perishes, he goes through three generations]
“Isn’t it identity theft to evade inheritance tax for those with vested interests?”
[I just got a lot of pocket money]
“Um! I was counting on it!!!”
Ruri was quick to change her attitude.
“Anyway, let’s go out and see. I’ll buy the coffee.”
[I see]
Soon after, the call was disconnected. Baekli sneaked up and asked Ruri about the phone call.
“What does Yejin say?”
“Ah, I really hate seeing people having a fling. They just make up a fait accompli by themselves!!!”
Ruri looked down at Baek-ri with an expression of pity.
